RESTful APIs are a popular way to create scalable and maintainable web services. In this post, we’ll introduce you to RESTful API principles and how to create them.
What is REST?
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It relies on stateless communication and standard HTTP methods.
Creating a Simple RESTful API
Here’s an example of a simple RESTful API using Express.js (Node.js):
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
app.get('/api/users', (req, res) => {
res.json([{ id: 1, name: 'John' }, { id: 2, name: 'Kevin' }]);
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}/`);
});
